Huang Chin Kuei Oolong

Huang Chin Kuei, or more commonly known as Huang Jin Gui, is a oolong produced in the Fujian province in China. Fujian oolong is highly regarded by the Chinese tea drinking community as oolong produced there are considered 'traditional or original' as the tea there had been produced by many generations of tea farmers.

Tea farmers in the many Fujian provinces would usually have a special name for their oolong tea. The four most famous names would be Rougui, Tie Kuan Yin, Shui Hsien and Bai Chi Guan.

This Huang Chin Kuei is produced and packed into tins by Fujian Tea Import and Export Co Ltd under the Butterfly brand. Every tin is filled with 125g and you will noticed from the 2nd pix, that the tea is 'rolled up'. The tea leaves will unfurl when you brew the tea and the unfurled tea leaves looks greenish in my teapot as the roast levels of this tea was medium.

This tea makes 5-6 good infusions. This tea has very good floral notes with a delicate sweet finish. I found this tea very suitable, when I had the tea served and paired, with a Chinese dinner.

Muses of a tea drinker

I enjoy my cup of tea. Have a chuckle with me when you read my thoughts on tea, whether its silly or politically incorrect.
I have an online store (opened in July 2016) that has some of my favorite teas I had found during my tea travels - www.adventureineverycup.com
